World Youth Day
State Opposition Leader John Brogden has offered Liberal-National support
to the Archbishop of Sydney, Cardinal George Pell, for Sydney’s bid to
stage World Youth Day in 2007.
And he has urged Premier Bob Carr to offer any and every assistance.
“ There is no better city to hold World Youth Day,” said Mr Brogden. “Sydney was a fantastic host for the 2000 Olympics and the 2003 Rugby World Cup and would be a fantastic host for World Youth Day 2007.
“ World Youth Day has a very special place in the Catholic calendar attracting hundreds of thousands of young pilgrims from around the world.”
Mr Brogden, an old boy of St Patrick’s, Strathfield (and St Joan of Arc, Haberfield), said he was offering the Premier “bipartisan support for the bid and bipartisan support in Government planning for the event”.
